Penn State Football Long Snapper Tyler Duzansky Named To Patrick Mannelly Award Watch List

Penn State football long snapper Tyler Duzansky has been named to the watch list for the Patrick Mannelly Award, which is given annually to the nation’s best long snapper in college football.

Duzansky first took over the role of Penn State’s top long snapper in 2023 and started all 13 games. He recorded six tackles, the most by any long-snapper in the country, and helped Penn State’s punt unit rank second in the Big Ten and sixth in the country in net punting.

Duzansky took over the long snapping role for Chris Stoll, who won the Patrick Mannelly Award in 2022. Stoll is now with the Seattle Seahawks .
